So, what old item do you still use?

[snapper]

We still use our Eureka "Sentinel" when car camping or even the occasional winter trip. Add to that our Coleman 2 burner gas stove and my traditional snowshoes, toboggan and Al Camp paddles (which I purchased from Al off his back porch), I guess I'm still firmly in the group of folks who still use "old" equipment. Of course, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

16 oz. Nalgene bottle. Purchased in 1991. Spent its first 25 years clipped to a climbing harness (once accidentally dropped off a 400 foot rock face, found the next day hiking out). Last 10 years bouncing between by work bag and day (canoe) pack.

I still use my old poly Nalgene from the 80's- it's longest drop was only 120 feet though...
I also still use my red poly Nalgene fuel bottle (yeah, I know they're banned), and actually empty my MSR bottles into it because the included funnel is still the best thing for filling Coleman stuff...

What did you do with yours, or did it just wear out. I'll keep using mine as long as I can. Thanks for the info.

After a couple of successful trips to the tundra, it suffered a broken pole when my spouse and her friend tried to set it up in a campground. (Pole not completely inserted before flexion.) replaced by a Moss Stardome 2, since I couldn't get a replacement pole from Eureka.

I have one of those red poly Nalgene bottles too, love the included funnel. Their banned? How come?
